1 month down, 11 to go!

Wow, 30 days already!  I can't believe it!  I love blogging happy moments in my day though!  It is totally addicting to get on here and type down the best parts of my day.  It helps me mentally in ways I never thought it could!  There have been some really dark days lately and I am sure there are more ahead, but writing down the joyful moments of my life are making it possible to go to bed and get up the next day KNOWING that I will have happy moments to blog about...even if it is just one...or more likely two :-)

So here are my happy moments of today:
  • getting to play on the floor with Connor (I can't do it too often because my arm doesn't usually let me get back up OFF of the floor, but I was near a chair where I could push up with the other arm today) We played with his little school bus and put people on and took people off.  Then we made it go...it was one of life's simple, cute, moments that made me smile.
  • going to work today and working with one of the cutest Down Syndrome kids I have ever met!  She has so much expression and love of life!  She makes you want to smile the whole time you are with her and we had so much fun playing Hi Ho Cherrio and Candyland and making Cookie Monster eat cookies!  (yes I DO speech therapy with all of those toys lol, it isn't just fun time in there, but it sure felt like it!)
  • everyone does different things when they are dealing with sadness or bouts of depression.  For me, I take baths and sit in there for HOURS at a time.  I once re-read the ENTIRE Harry Potter series in a bathtub (across many days lol)  our water bill gets a bit higher, but it keeps me going to the next day.  So tonight, long bath, washed my hair in the tub, and watched episode two of Gilmore Girls from my DVD set.  It was GREAT!  I am cleaner AND calmer now :-)
  • big happy moment today was realizing that I did NOT in fact have the flu but a really bad case of food poisoning yesterday....mental note...do NOT get anything from the food court at the mall EVER again that isn't deep fried or pizza...two times now I have gotten sick and both from different restaurants!  Never again!  I wouldn't wish what happened yesterday on my worst enemy (if I had a worst enemy)  just yuck!
Well that is all for now.  Hope you have a very happy week filled with happy moments!  I am really looking forward to TWO parties I am attending tomorrow and date night coming up as well!  Gotta use some of our Groupons that are about to expire!  Take care all and make some happy moments of your own!
